The Rockers aren’t mathematically eliminated from postseason contention just yet.
Ashwaubenon, Wis. – Green Bay, coming off a subpar performance in Wausau last night, looks to get two huge wins vs. the struggling Wisconsin Rapids Rafters.
The Rockers must win out and have the Woodchucks and Mallards lose most of their remaining game if the Rockers want to clinch the first half title in the Great Lakes West.
On the mound for the Rockers in game one is Titan Targac, the hard throwing southpaw will make his first appearance as a starter for the Rockers. In six appearances he holds a 3.38 ERA in eight innings of action, giving up just three hits and three earned runs. In game two, the Rockers will toss another bullpen arm, Keaton Baird, who has appeared in six games and holds a 7.62 ERA.
For the Rafters in game one, it is Colton LaFave, who is also a typical bullpen arm that finds himself starting today. In four appearances, he has a 7.88 ERA in eight innings of action. The righty closed out the Rafters 4-2 win against Green Bay last Saturday. In game two, Spencer Lanz gets the nod. He is 1-2 with a 5.91 ERA. Lanz will make his first appearance against the Rockers this season.
